2821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: July 23, 2021, 01:48:11 PM
So far no news yet, so we have to wait and see if this fight is going to happen.

Perhaps they want to keep the detail in secret for now, but I do think that this will eventually happen since Donaire vs Casimero is no longer happening, and then Inoue just came from a big victory.

So won't see any odds on the bookies because the fight is not officially announced.
After the disappointment and cancelled match between Casimero and Donaire, they both in contact with other boxers to fight with them, and both of them are still waiting for the official announcement if they'll be having a match or not.

There's not odds yet for Casimero and Rigondeaux, though it should already be finalized and as per OP it's already secured so I'm also wondering why it is not available, the fight will happen in the next two weeks no updated news yet.

Let us not think yet of the Casimero vs Inoue fight as Casimero has to beat Rigo in order for him to be given a chance to fight the king of the bantamweight division. he needs to focus in winning the fight as Rigo is not an easy opponent, and if he wins, then they can be in business if Inoue's promoter will find the fight against Inoue will bring a better revenue.

don't hesitate to invest at any time if you believe it's the best time of the analysis you've done, because if it's too late then you will wait for more time.
It's always good to invest when the analysis is coming from us, not from another person and we just follow.

What we need here is knowledge, because if we are smart, we will likely succeed while people who just follow the call of others might not be able to survive in the long run. Investing does not need to be complicated, it just needs some focus, being realistic and you should not be greedy at the same time.
2823  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: See why most bounty hunters get scammed on: July 22, 2021, 09:52:48 PM
Maybe in some cases, I'm really surprised that people work without regard to the mission or new updates on the rules, ultimately, the KYC requirements (If any) that they missed. Then they came back again and demanded their rice. then criticize and vent their rage on bounty managers. Poor awareness is exactly what I see in bounty work these days. We should only demand justice for the right cases.


I have to agree with you. Each bounty campaign states that the campaign owner or manager can make changes to the rules. Unfortunately, bounty hunters often do not read the basic rules at all, so for sure do not pay attention to any changes that take place during the campaign.
If someone does not fulfill such basic obligations as reading the rules and following them, they should not join the campaign at all, and certainly not claim a reward if they did not follow them.

If the changes are acceptable then there should be no problem with that.

Some bounty campaigns are really obvious of cheating their participants, by the end of the same, they reduce the reward and ask for KYC, for me that is unreasonable and a way of scamming the bounty hunters for their effort, they can always change as they are in control of the reward, but they should be smart in doing some changes that it will not affect their reputation.

Salute to the teams and players that always have a clean match.............

Just like other sports, I think the main culprit of sports rigging is not the team or the players, it's probably the people officiating the game, that way, the rig is not so obvious and as we observed, we don't usually see a player that is consistent but having a bad game, it's actually the referees making inconsistent calls.
Yes, that's likely. But these are accusations and we've got no proof anyway this is just a discussion of what we think is actually happening. Without such approval from the top officials, there will be no rigging of match or there won't be favor that shall be granted. We've heard it once and ones there's another guy from the league starts to voice out his frustration, well, that confirms the first voice that we've heard about how rigged the league is. And for the meantime, let's forget about this discussion and let's focus on the current games that they're giving us.

There's no way the officials will make this league a rig one, it's not like a wrestling match, it's a real competition with real pride, it's just sometimes there are questionable calls that will make people think this league is rigged. Referees will play a vital role in sports rigging, and if it will happen, the team will have no idea that referees are cooking the game to make a specific team win.

Skills and talent, these both fighter have it.
Agree, They both have professional careers in boxing championships.

Inoue he is from japan, i admit his attack and hit ratio, he won the WBA, IBF title in 19, so he got the title with the nickname 'moster' in 2012.
Boxer donaire comes from the Philippines, I do not underestimate in the ring against Inoue this time, Donaire also has speed and strength that is recognized by many boxing fans, he's also won several titles and is also a WBC bantamweight champion, I'd say both have strengths.

Conclusion: for both of them between Donaire vs. Inoue if they bet in the boxing ring this time, I will see from the age factor, you must know what I mean, age assessment.

The age factor is not a big deal, IMO, Inoue is just the better fighter and he will win against Donaire.

In the first fight, we saw how Inoue had dominated the fight, I think the same thing will happen in the rematch.
Donaire understands his chances, but he also wants to take a big risk because if he wins, he will get a good reward for being a unified champion.
I like Donaire because he is not afraid of taking big fights, but this time, I just feel Donaire has faced the best fighter in the division and he can't beat him.

So "glad" hardcore rigged Philippine Basketball  is back, always good for a laugh.

Alaska aces 17/36 free throws, turnover 20sec before the end at 82:82 and then lose to a buzzer.

Did everything they can to lose this game.

This league is a real shame, honestly!



Really? or maybe it's just your own opinion, we might think the league is rigged but we can't conclude they are as we have no evidence.

If you are a bettor, just bet on the right side so you'll win.

I'm glad I was not able to bet on this game, I might still lose as I will bet on the magnolia spread.

This has nothing to do with right side - wrong side.

PH basketball has a history of being corrupt and fixed and easy to tell at the start of the season that this hasn't changed.

I agree with that, but if you really know it's corrupt and you are still watching it, then you should put some bet and take advantage of it. The thing is, you would not love watching the game if you don't put a bet because it will not anymore excite you, so no sense in wasting your time.

Actually, it's not only PBA that is corrupt, even NBA, there are a lot of theories that fix games are happening, so PBA is not different.

This story of game-fixing is not new to us and to prove that indeed there are rigged games is very hard. IMO, I think that it's just a coincidence that everything turned out that way and the PBA has nothing to do with it. Who will benefit if they will intend to lose their game and with today's technology, it is easier to spot a rigged game than before, and being honest and fair is profitable nowadays so I give them the benefit of the doubt that it's only pure coincidence.

We have different theories, and personally, I believe that PBA could be rigged, however, I still love to watch this game as PBA is still the most popular basketball in the league, so we have no choice. About how they benefit, we don't know, but we millions of money being wagered in a game, a million per game income for fixing the game could already make the team owner richer as that's easy money.

Back to the actual game now, the next schedule will be on Friday.

We got Ginebra vs Bossing and Beermen vs NLEX, both SMB teams had loss on their opening game.

2827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Dogecoin overpriced? on: July 21, 2021, 09:16:13 PM
Doge is so overvalued right now not only in usd terms but in terms of sats.  With 10k doge block rewards every minute this should be back to 25-60 sats in no time.  Buying doge here is a suckers bet.

Well guess too many suckers in the game. Following that Elon train and get wrecked relentlessly.

Doge bouncing back, I guess this would somehow give relief to those who are still holding DOGE right now and hoping it will reach $1 to make a profit. It's obvious that DOGE will go down in the long run as the market situation cannot help them to hold on.

I'm watching how DOGE will collapse and what price it will end.  Grin
2828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taxes on gambling send the right message? on: July 18, 2021, 09:22:22 PM
It is a form of discouraging people from launching a gambling site and for people to stop gambling because of the high cost of setting up and playing in casinos is indeed a false morality you still cannot stop people from gambling, rich people will ignore the cost but those average joes who want to play will have to find ways to sustain their cost of playing in the casinos, they are not punishing the rich players but the average players, who will bear the high cost of playing.
You are right on the sense that taxes can be used in this way, low or no taxes to encourage something and high taxes to discourage certain behaviors, I have no doubt that many politicians see it this way which is why things like alcohol and gambling have such high taxes, but even then I have no doubts there are many politicians that do not really care and are using this as nothing more but a justification to keep raising taxes to those industries.
Well, I agree with the discouraging part and thinking that it is right. I also noticed in my country that they seem implemented a law to raise it high the taxes on the tobacco industry, we know that it is not good health and many manufacturers would suffer and becomes losing interest if they will put high taxes. The same story on gambling, if they will put a high taxes many of the owners will also discourage and do not continue their business until they will stop, now it makes sense to me why they had high taxes.
Gambling operators will only stop operating if they are losing, high taxes doesn't mean they operate in a losing manner, some can still sustain because they have a lot of clients that is consistently gambling and that means they are bringing money to the business, also, the government will not implement high taxes if they don't find it reasonable as they are also concern on the business to survive.
2829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 18, 2021, 09:02:45 PM
I expect the odds to change when it is the week of the fight.


I think this will be different from the Thurman fight where Pacquiao ends up as a slight favorite, here, there was a little odds movement happening already but it's Errol Spence's value that has increase. So from 2.70, now at 2.80, then it's possible that a week before the fight, the odds will be 3.00.

Maybe different in terms of odds movement but I guess it will be the same in terms of fight outcome. I think I'm getting bias here but I already see the odds as very attractive now, how much more if it will hit 3.00 a week before the fight. Pacquiao has been training hard and their camp said that he will be more condition now compared to his fight with Thurman.
2830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 18, 2021, 08:46:13 PM
I really wanted to see a game 7, this doesn't change anything and there could still be a game 7 but I have to say that it is now a lot harder for Suns to end up winning at a road game, there is a good chance Bucks could end this in 6. ~snip~

The situation now favors the Bucks, they'll bring their biggest crowd in game 6 because if they'll win, they'll celebrate. I also don't see a scenario where the Suns will ruin this, if the Bucks will win, they deserve to celebrate the championship at home.

With this possible win, Giannis will be proven to be one of the legit NBA stars because his resume will go like this.

Regular season MVP
NBA Finals MVP
NBA Champion.

At a young age of 26 years old, that's already a big achievement and he deserves that as he never joins a superteam to win a championship. Durant is 32 years old and yet so explosive, if Giannis will develop more as a player, he will become as good as Lebron but better as a team player. Chris Paul's dream to win a championship before he retires might not be realized, and next season will be tough for the Suns as most teams will be healthy again.
2831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 18, 2021, 08:03:58 PM
Today we have 2 games, 2 big games actually, hopefully, we will be able to see Fajardo play.

1-SMB vs Bolts
2-BGSM vs NLEX


Actually, we will have 3 games for today as I see it in the schedule and the third game will be between Blackwater vs Rain or Shine.

Speaking of Fajardo, he will play, and just like what their team manager said that he is not 100 percent healthy but he looks good on their scrimmages I think his presence is enough to at least boost the morale of his teammates because even if he's not 100 percent, he is still dangerous to other teams so I'll be backing them to win today.



Not the result I expected, luckily I was not able to place my bet on this game as I have an early trip.

Though SMB loss but it was a close game.
JMF scores 5 points only and played 18 minutes, he is not yet fully activated, we will know if he plays longer minutes and generate a double double in points and rebounds.
2832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 18, 2021, 02:02:35 PM
Still Bucks here, nothing changes like the betting odds of this game.

We will witness a great game tonight, looks like the last game of the Finals as whoever wins this will have the advantage again.
Suns win, they can get this in 7, Bucks win they can get this at 6.

If I have not mentioned before, I'm adding Bucks ML bet on my previous pick.

I'm going to put my money on the Bucks tonight, I'm really rooting for them to win tonight, although I'm well aware I'm probably going with my heart not my head, but it pays off sometimes you know.

Bucks ML @ 2.53 it is for me!

Probably the smart bet the way things have been going. I’m worried for my Suns. I feel like if they lose tonight it’s over. That alone may be enough to motivate them to a win. I don’t see them going to the Bucks home court and winning two in a row. It might be hard enough to get one if they win tonight. Looking forward to what will be a great game and I hope that Suns fans counting throws off Giannis at the line. That may be the difference.

That was a big trust their, betting on the Bucks ML on the road needs some guts and you guys deserve that win. Giannis, Middleton, and Holiday all had a big contribution on the win, they already won 3 straight guys, I don't think the Suns can still come back here, BUCKS in 6, fans are right.
2833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 18, 2021, 01:34:25 PM
Finally, Holiday had a great game, 13 assists, 3 steals and 27 points, which was so special.

Buck hold on from the big run of the Suns, they still win the game and now they are 1 game away to get this championship win.

The question is will they win at home? my answer is probably yes because this is a championship game, they beat the Suns on the road, they can surely get this win at home.
2834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 17, 2021, 09:44:48 PM
Are we seeing a new look TNT now?

They are supposed to be a high-scoring team but in their first game, they only scored 86 points and beat the DYIP in the game.

What do you think, did the current coach changed their strategy from an offensive team to a more defensive team?



The reason for that low scoring game is because TNT has only shot 10% from 3 point line, it was a bad 3 point shooting game for them with only 3 made shots of 28 attempts. We can check the stats of this specific match. https://pba.ph/recap?match=1902565

Thanks for the information, I check the stats and I confirmed their shooting is really low, anyway, they still win, that's what matters and if their shots are falling, that could be a big win by the TNT. I guess they didn't cover the spread as they only win by 7 points while the spread was -7.5.

Today we have 2 games, 2 big games actually, hopefully, we will be able to see Fajardo play.

1-SMB vs Bolts
2-BGSM vs NLEX
2835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: July 17, 2021, 08:53:21 PM
Casimero is my favorite in the coming fight. I like his aggressive style in the ring combined with amazing foot and body work.  In the last years Rigondeaux wasn't been very often  in the ring, so I think  August 14 will be a tough day for him.  He is 8 years older than Casimero and this is not  give him advantage. Yeah, he  is 4" better than Casimero in the reach  but this may be contrasted with punches at close range.

The age gap is really huge as only Pacquiao so far has proven the age gap is not an advantage to his opponent. Rigondeaux is older than Casimero, so he has a lot of experience, therefore it's his advantage and Casimero has to read the movement of Rigondeaux effectively in order for him to hit him with some clean shots. Rigondeaux is a type of fighter that moves a lot, you can't hit him if you will just stand and throw some predictable punches.
2836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 17, 2021, 08:37:47 PM
What the heck. I am going underdog with Bucks tomorrow. Bucks ML.
Suns will have their confidence back at their home court so the Bucks must answer every offensive attack they will make and because of that I am going Over 216.5.  Grin
Middleton should shine more, I liked how he played at Game 4 but it's still not enough. Waiting for him to heat up is not good for the team, Giannis will get exhausted early if he doesn't contribute as early as he could. Cheers!
Tough call for you! But yeah if Middleton will play that same level the chance is high for them to win this next game, he just need to keep on trying finding his rhythm in earlier period to allow Giannis to focus more with other things.

They've already find the confidence back home, and now that they need to travel back to Suns they have to work double time, it's good to went back with the high chance of finishing the series in front of your home fans.

Good luck to you!

The problem with Middleton though is that he is not a road player. He only excels when they are in their own home court. But if he is on the road, it's a miss or hit for him. It was only the last game that he exploded. But since they are going to Phoenix, chances are might see him missing shots early like Jrue Holiday.

So yeah, it's a tough call and so far the home team wins in this series, just saying.

Not really, maybe not yet in this series but he has some good games on the road in the ECF, in game 6 win, he leads his team with 32 big points and they eliminated the Hawsk in that specific game, so I cannot agree with you and I think Middleton is due for a big game on the road today.

Not used to set a specific budget for any of my gambling sessions as I know it won't follow.

It's hard and difficult to follow since the urge of doing gambling is always there even when winning or losing a streak. Winning, because we don't want to waste the opportunity that we are feeling lucky and losing, because we want to chase losses even bit by bit.

What I'm doing is to set a minimum bet, whatever the gambling type, so that the bankroll is properly managed.

You can still set a budget though, and that is by setting up your bankroll, let's say you budget your bankroll for a week, win or lose you'll withdraw the money if there's still left and start a new bankroll again for the next week. Well, what's only important is you know what you are doing, and you will be able to follow your game plan and be discipline as well.
2839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 16, 2021, 09:28:13 PM
This is what I'm talking about the last time, where the bucks need to push the tempo on their side, if you will look in the lineup they are the bigger team, the suns, and taking advantage of those is a huge boost to them, but if you look at what the weakness of the bucks is, is when they have the lead, they started to get loose a little bit, which they have done with the nets, remember the suns have paul, who understand every situation, they won't make the same mistake in game 4, it will be their downfall if ever.

That's part of the game, sometimes you make mistakes and clearly CP3 and Booker both make costly mistakes that allow the Bucks to come back and even win the game. Booker was the first to make a big mistake when he fouled PJ Tucker that sent him to the bench with 5 fouls, and that was taken advantage of by the Bucks as they will not have to deal with Booker's offense while the Suns are looking for production.

Those silly fouls and careless handling of the ball made them lose, so like I said, it's CP3's and Booker's fault why they blow their chance for a 3-1 lead.
2840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 16, 2021, 09:07:54 PM
~snip~

 and right now the odd is on a favor for the Suns with 1.59 to 2.44 for the Milwaukee Bucks on stake.com.

I don't know if betting on them in the series now is a smart idea because if we really think they'll win the series, the best strategy for me is to bet on them in game 5 ML and if Suns win, I'll double it in game 7. We have a different strategy though but the game is very unpredictable so who knows, Bucks will have their straight wins, so you don't need the series to be over to bag that win.
